NAME

dh_clean - clean up package build directories

SYNOPSIS

dh_clean [debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a
package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes some
other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other
debhelper commands. It also removes common files that should not appear in a
Debian diff:
#*# *~

DEADJOE

*.orig *.rej *.SUMS

TAGS

.deps/* *.P *-stamp

It does not run ``make clean'' to clean up after the build process. Use
dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.

dh_clean should be the last debhelper command run in the
clean target in debian/rules.

FILES

debian/clean

Can list other paths to be removed.

Note that directories listed in this file must end with a trailing
slash. Any content in these directories will be removed as well.
